Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding heat to a substance can sometimes result in a phase change, such as melting or boiling, without a temperature change. This occurs because the heat energy is being used to break the bonds between the molecules rather than increasing their kinetic energy and temperature. Additionally, if the substance is already at its highest possible temperature (boiling point or melting point), adding heat may not result in a temperature increase.
